Why This Matters

Joel foresaw a day when God's Spirit would be poured out on all people—sons and daughters, old and young alike. Peter declared this fulfilled at Pentecost when the Spirit fell on the believers and they spoke in tongues. The Spirit that once rested on select prophets and kings now fills every believer, making the entire community of faith a prophetic people.

Reflection

Lord, the kingdom You promised in Joel 2:28 is breaking in through Acts 2:17. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
